i have never written a poem i've only pounded out my fear on a keyboard i've only slung my blood onto a page i've only cried and screamed and hoped that someone would hear me i've tried to write poems for the ones that i love but they always come out as hatred i've tried to write poems for the ones that i love but they always end up about death i've tried to write poems i've tried to write poems i've tried i've tried i've-- i'm in that awkward place between prose and poetry what am i trying to say? every line break ends a sentence, ends the phrase, as if i am speaking out loud or crying in the biggest stall in the bathroom at school it's the only one with a toilet lid- we all know what that means sit down and sob when you've ******* up walk out act as if nothing ever happened it didn't it is just another line in the story of God

i couldn't define poetry if my life depended on it, and it does
